Calculate Your Estimated Rental Expense

There’s no question that renting an apartment or condo is a big financial step that requires serious planning. And to help you plan your budget accordingly, East Boston Pads offers an online rent calculator that’s free for you to us

By entering your annual income into the calculator, it will populate a set of monthly payment recommendations. Because the calculator takes your salary into account, you can be sure that the recommendations provided by East Boston Pads will help you stay well within your budget.

The calculator provides three types of monthly payment recommendations: High End, Middle Range, and Low End. A High End monthly payment equates to about 35% of your gross income. According to the rent calculator, this indicates that you may need to compromise on some of your residential desires and expectations in order to stay within your means. A monthly payment amount that rests in the Middle Range is considered to be a smarter financial option that will give you some financial flexibility. And when your rent payment falls within the Low End recommendation, you can rest assured that you’ll be in a financial safe zone that’ll give a bit of extra cash to spend each month.

These recommendations are merely meant to serve as a guide for you to consider as you conduct your real estate search. It is completely up to you how you would like to divvy up your income based on your personal needs. One important factor to consider as you use this calculator is that many landlords have strict guidelines about income-to-rent ratios. For instance, if your monthly rent payment is the equivalent of 35% of your income, a landlord may not consider you as a tenant. So, using this calculator as a guide can certainly help you avoid any hiccups in your property search.
